No normal player would expect Astro Bot to be TGE’s Game of the Year 2024, but looking at the odds, from the very beginning, this was the only answer in the eyes of money.

What I Am Reading

This week, I read the biography Why Fish Don’t Exist about David Starr Jordan, the founding president of Stanford University and a taxonomist. It’s an ordinary story, with some allegorical undertones.

In taxonomy, fish as a whole do not exist, and David Starr Jordan’s lifelong work in classifying fish is therefore difficult to evaluate.

The author suggests that David Starr Jordan may have murdered Stanford’s benefactor to continue his research, leading to a deeper question: Many things humans do may be inherently meaningless, but how much can a person sacrifice in their lifetime for their true self?

After all, personal emotions and beliefs give meaning to these actions. In the end, individuals are responsible for themselves and assign meaning to their own lives.
